Financial Literacy Among Buffalo State College Undergraduate Students, Toni Martinucci
Financial Literacy Among Buffalo State College Undergraduate Students, Toni Martinucci
Public Administration Master’s Projects
Financial literacy can be complex and difficult for college students to comprehend. Many students struggle to afford college and are faced with large amounts of student loan debt. Financial awareness needs to be addressed early on for students to make informed decisions about college costs, student debt, and financial aid. However, financial aid applications, terms and conditions, and eligibility requirements are difficult for many students to comprehend on their own. The purpose of this study is to access financial literacy among undergraduate students at Buffalo State College. A quantitative approach is used in this study by implementing a web-based cross-sectional …

Propuestas Y Resultados De Investigación Transmoderna, Translocal Y Digital Desde Jóvenes Semilleristas, Xiomara Gonzalez Gaitan
Institucional
En el presente libro intitulado Propuestas y resultados de investigación transmoderna, translocal y digital desde jóvenes semilleristas, se encuentran compilados las propuestas, avances y resultados de los proyectos en curso de los Semilleros de Investigación de la Universidad de Cundinamarca, Colombia, que se presentaron en el “II encuentro de semilleros de investigación: ciencia, tecnología e innovación en la era digital” en su versión 2020. Hacemos la labor de publicar estos proyectos con la intensión de difundir el conocimiento y como muestra del esfuerzo y alcance de la labor investigativa de los semilleristas de la Universidad de Cundinamarca. Esperamos que lo …
Sheltered Math Curriculum For Middle School English Learners, Jasmine Ercink
Sheltered Math Curriculum For Middle School English Learners, Jasmine Ercink
Dissertations, Theses, and Projects
Language barriers have shown a need for differentiation and sheltered instruction in the classroom for English Learners (ELs) to be successful in the United States public school system. This project proposes a mathematics curriculum using SIOP so that both groups of students in the middle school level can increase their proficiency in the mathematics content area as well as experience opportunities for academic and social language development. The purpose of this report is to describe the processes, methods, data, and intent of the mathematics curriculum for these learners. The curriculum acts as an effective intervention to fill gaps in both …
How To Guard An Art Gallery: A Simple Mathematical Problem, Natalie Petruzelli
How To Guard An Art Gallery: A Simple Mathematical Problem, Natalie Petruzelli
The Review: A Journal of Undergraduate Student Research
The art gallery problem is a geometry question that seeks to find the minimum number of guards necessary to guard an art gallery based on the qualities of the museum’s shape, specifically the number of walls. Solved by Václav Chvátal in 1975, the resulting Art Gallery Theorem dictates that ⌊n/3⌋ guards are always sufficient and sometimes necessary to guard an art gallery with n walls. This theorem, along with the argument that proves it, are accessible and interesting results even to one with little to no mathematical knowledge, introducing readers to common concepts in both geometry and graph …
Remotely Close: An Investigation Of The Student Experience In First-Year Mathematics Courses During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Sawyer Smith
Remotely Close: An Investigation Of The Student Experience In First-Year Mathematics Courses During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Sawyer Smith
Honors Theses
The realm of education was shaken by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. It had drastic effects on the way that courses were delivered to students, and the way that students were getting their education at the collegiate level. At the University of Nebraska – Lincoln, the pandemic dramatically changed the way that first-year mathematics courses looked for students. By Spring 2021, students had the opportunity to take their first-year math courses either in-person or virtually. This project sought to identify differences between the two methods of course delivery during the Spring 2021 semester, regarding interaction with peers …
High School Student Perspective: My Njit Stem For Success Internship Experience, Michael Mora
High School Student Perspective: My Njit Stem For Success Internship Experience, Michael Mora
STEM Month
During the 2020-2021 school year, I was a senior at the Academy for Mathematics, Science, and Engineering (AMSE) in Rockaway, NJ. At AMSE, a STEM-focused four-year magnet high school program hosted at Morris Hills High School, participating in an extended internship senior year is a cornerstone of the learning process. Required to complete a STEM-related internship to graduate, Academy students are encouraged to seek out an internship they’re passionate about in a field of their choice. The internship, which must be conducted under the mentorship of an industry professional, must meet the New Jersey-approved standards for a work-based learning experience …
Existence And Uniqueness Of Minimizers For A Nonlocal Variational Problem, Michael Pieper
Existence And Uniqueness Of Minimizers For A Nonlocal Variational Problem, Michael Pieper
Honors Theses
Nonlocal modeling is a rapidly growing field, with a vast array of applications and connections to questions in pure math. One goal of this work is to present an approachable introduction to the field and an invitation to the reader to explore it more deeply. In particular, we explore connections between nonlocal operators and classical problems in the calculus of variations. Using a well-known approach, known simply as The Direct Method, we establish well-posedness for a class of variational problems involving a nonlocal first-order differential operator. Some simple numerical experiments demonstrate the behavior of these problems for specific choices of …
